BackgroundResearch has suggested that some gynecological conditions are associated with body image, disordered eating behaviors, and mental health concerns. This has been studied in polycystic ovarian syndrome and endometriosis populations, …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder involving ectopic endometrial tissue growth. This study investigated IL-33, CD1c+ dendritic cells (DCs) and their co-stimulatory molecules (CD40, CD80, CD86), and IL-17 A …
Women with endometriosis experience chronic cyclic pelvic pain (CCPP) or chronic persistent pelvic pain (CPPP), both of which may be incapacitating even after treatment. Emotional dysregulation in endometriosis impedes patient …
Ovarian endometriomas are commonly assessed according to cyst size and laterality, anatomical features that have long been regarded as indicators of disease severity and potential ovarian compromise. Consequently, these characteristics …
Persons diagnosed with endometriosis report deleterious effects to their physical, psychological, and relational well-being. While some couples state that these challenges extend beyond the person in pain to also affect …
Endometriosis (EMS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are both chronic inflammatory disorders with overlapping clinical features, suggesting a potentially shared etiology. Although epidemiological studies have reported an association between the …
Orofacial pain (OFP) is a multidimensional clinical problem that includes conditions such as temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It is often associated with chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs), including gastrointestinal, gynecological and …
BackgroundTransitioning to parenthood is stressful for relationships. Women with endometriosis face several health challenges, which may further strain their relationships when they become parents. However, it remains uncertain whether this …
Accumulating observational evidence suggests an association between thyroid function and endometriosis, though the causal relationship remains unclear. To investigate potential bidirectional causal relationships, including for endometriosis subtypes, we conducted a …
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are hypothesized to modulate female reproductive endocrine disorders, yet their causal relationships remain elusive. We employed Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate bidirectional causality between circulating PUFAs …
